Текст песни Forty Shades Of Green - Live At The Paramount Theatre, NJ/1990 - Johnny Cash
I wrote the song when I was in Ireland as I said
And people said how did you know that much about our country?
And I said when I was riding along in the car someone else was driving
And I had the roadmap in my lap
And I picked up all these names, put them together and rhymed them
And started singing them
It's called forty shades of green
I close my eyes and picture
The emerald of the sea
From the fishing boats at Dingle
To the shores of Donaghadee
I miss the river Shannon
And the folks at Skibbereen
The moorlands and the meddles
With their forty shades of green
But most of all I miss a girl
In Tipperary town
And most of all I miss her lips
As soft as eiderdown
Again I wanna see and do
The things we've done and seen
Where the breeze is sweet as Shalimar
And there's forty shades of green
I wish that I could spend an hour
At Dublin's churning surf
I'd love to watch the farmers
Drain the bogs and spade the turf
To see again the thatching
Of the straw the women glean
I'd walk from Cork to Larne to see
The forty shades of green
But most of all I miss a girl
In Tipperary town
And most of all I miss her lips
As soft as eiderdown
Again I wanna see and do
The things we've done and seen
Where the breeze is sweet as Shalimar
And there's forty shades of green
